The waiter was screwing around in the corner while our drinks were sitting on the bar. Food took forever and came out cold with soggy fries. Pur alcoholic drinks were just sugar water.

The food is good, but there is not enough staff, and it takes a long time to catch a waiter. They are not attentive enough. read more The food is good, but there is not enough staff, and it takes a long time to catch a waiter. They are not attentive enough.

My only complaint is that the Beyond Burger was quite salty, and there was too much salt on the French fries as well. I suggest going a bit easier on the salt, unless the Beyond Burgers are pre-made. Everything else was wonderful, though. I would also love to see more vegan and vegetarian options on the menu.
